Salmonberry Pie Recipes

SALMONBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Measure the mix of berries so that they are about 1/2 inch below the rim of the pie pan. This will be approximately 4-6 cups of berries depending on the size of your pie pan.
• Mix gently until combined. Don't over mix so you can keep the berries shape although smushing a few is fine.
• Pour into a pie pan lined with an unbaked pie dough. Dot with butter. Top with upper crust and cut vents or make a lattice crust.
• Paint with some of the egg white wash.
• Sprinkle some sugar on top.
• Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
• Turn down oven to 375 and bake for another 30-40 minutes.
• It's done when you see steady bubbling coming through the vents. Let cool for several hours...if you can. ;-)

MARIONBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Filling:Bring jam and lemon zest to a boil in a small saucepan, and cook, stirring, until jam is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Whisk 2 teaspoons water into cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir into hot jam mixture. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Discard zest.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out 1 disk of dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edge of dough to rim. Roll out remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. Using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter (from a cookie cutter set), cut out circles from dough, leaving about 1 inch between each hole and a 3-inch border of solid dough around perimeter. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate, along with dough in pie plate, until firm, about 1 hour.
• Pour filling into crust. Place top crust over filling, and trim excess, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold under bottom crust. Press to seal, and crimp to form a scalloped edge. Beat together egg and remaining teaspoon water, and brush top of pie with egg wash. Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until golden brown and bubbling through holes, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
